Arnica and MSM Creme for Everyday Bumps, Bruises and Sore Muscles

Synergistically, our Arnica/MSM Creme is a triple threat when it comes to your every day bumps and bruises, along with sprains, strains and post-workout soreness. In addition to the two main active ingredients, this creme also contains capsicum and peppermint oil. Capsicum is recognized for its warming properties as it increases circulation, and creates a comforting warmth in the tissue. Peppermint helps to stimulate circulation as well.

We have chosen to highlight this product as we transition into fall, when cold, damp weather tends to leave joints and muscles feeling stiffer. Ligaments tighten up, which can make everything feel less flexible. Arnica/MSM creme helps to relax tension in the ligament tissue, easing that tightness and helping things feel looser.

Arnica is an herb long used for the look of bruising and for post-exertion care. MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is an organic compound containing sulphur, which fosters structural integrity in the skin by building the collagen needed to increase elasticity. It is also an active agent in relaxing overcompensated muscle fibers after they have been overworked.

Year round runners and athletes will also benefit greatly from incorporating this creme into their workout routines. Pre-workout stretching is essential to warm up muscles and prevent ligament tearing, and is a practice that is often overlooked. Applying Arnica/MSM during this step ensures less stress on your body in both the short-term and long-term sense. Just don't forget to wash your hands after application!
